SuperPlane is an open source software factory for engineering teams. It takes coding agents from ticket to verified, merged PR, with shared standards and full visibility.Every engineer on your team now has a coding agent. But nothing happens until someone opens a session. Everyone’s setup is different.Most agent tools today are built for one person: your laptop, your prompts, your cloud sandbox. That works great for power users. But engineering is a team sport. When everyone runs agents their own way, you end up with forty private workflows and nobody can tell what’s going on.And the agents still need oversight. Someone has to decide if a task is ready, check that the result works, chase CI and answer review comments. That’s where the hours go. A lot of software development is routine work. We’ve turned our best engineers into water carriers for their agents.It’s an automation problem. A software factory solves it.Why nowThe last few weeks made something obvious: agents are finding critical vulnerabilities in the software everyone depends on faster than ever.When one of those hits a core dependency, you need to patch it, test it and deploy it. Can you do that within an hour? While you sleep? Most teams can’t move that fast, because the ticket waits until someone has time.A software factory fixes that. The CVE lands, the work starts right away and it comes back tested and ready for someone to approve.So today we’re launching SuperPlane 1.0. It’s an open source, model-agnostic software factory for engineering teams. It sits around your coding agents and gives the whole team one shared, repeatable path from ticket to verified, merged pull request.https://youtu.be/TLDxq4u3UyE?embedable=trueWhat we believeCI/CD made shipping a team habit. Factories will do the same for agents. Fifteen years ago, teams argued about whether automated testing was worth it. Now nobody ships without it. We think every engineering team will run a software factory within a few years. We’ve seen this movie before.Most tickets aren’t ready for an agent. Throwing vague work at an agent wastes everyone’s time. SuperPlane reads your backlog, scores each task for clarity, complexity and verifiability and helps you fix the weak spots before anything runs.“Done” needs proof. Every change comes back with evidence: passing checks, screenshots of the real UI, recordings and a note about anything it couldn’t verify. Human or agent reviewers check the proof.The first commit is the easy part. Failing CI and review back-and-forth are where the hours go. SuperPlane loops the agent back with the evidence until the PR is ready for a person.People make the calls only people can make. What to build, which trade-offs to accept, how much risk is fine. Everything else is the factory’s job. You decide what ships.You should own your factory. It’s open source, it runs on your infrastructure and it works with whatever models and agents you pick.A factory does the work that wouldn’t have happenedOver the last month, 52% of the pull requests our team merged were automated through SuperPlane. People often hear that and assume we handed off half our work. What actually happened is we got a bunch of extra work done that we’d never have gotten to.Every task runs in its own cloud development environment, in parallel, while our engineers keep working on their own stuff. You can’t run ten of those on a laptop. It’s like having a second shift that never takes time away from the first one.Built for the whole teamA software factory works when the whole team can share it, see into it and make it better.One shared environment. Skills, setup steps, tools and context belong to the team. When someone improves them, everyone’s next run gets better.One set of standards. Readiness checks and verification rules are set once for the team, so everyone works the same way. Sane defaults work out of the box. You can build your own automations that mix deterministic and agentic steps.Everyone can see what’s happening. One kanban board shows what’s running, what failed, what it cost and where a person is needed. The run history sticks around through retries and handoffs. The Velocity page shows how much the factory is adding.Where to startYou can use as much or as little of it as you want. The teams getting the most out of it started small:Small, well-defined bug fixes.Dependency and security updates, handled automatically.Small improvements nobody gets around to.Most teams figure out pretty quickly where it fits. The standards they set up along the way carry over to bigger work.Why usBefore SuperPlane, we spent more than ten years building developer tools at Semaphore, helping some of the world’s best engineering teams ship faster with CI/CD. We watched CI go from optional to obvious. With SuperPlane we’re bringing that same care for clear workflows, real verification and team-wide visibility to coding agents.Try itSuperPlane is available today. Head to superplane.com, star the project on GitHub and give it a bug in your backlog.Every engineering team will run a factory. We think it should be open and yours.
